Traction Alopecia Success: “…they taught me how to look after my afro hair…”

This is the least I can do, I truly am grateful to you guys…
 
I am so happy I came to the Belgravia Centre.  As a black woman, I have mistreated my hair with plaits, weaves, extensions, straighteners etc you name it, I’ve done it and my hair bounced back (albeit thinner) each time.  One day I took out my corn rows and the hair from both sides of my head had just vanished.  Now I had to wear the wigs and hair pieces.  I was devastated.  I came to The Belgravia Centre and they taught me how to look after my afro hair, something I had always thought was impossible hence the extensions etc.  I was suffering from traction (from all the pulling) alopecia. 

After a year of treatment, I now have a full head of thick hair that I now proudly wear in a loose curl and its all mine, it’s shoulder length now and growing really quickly.  I do home treatments still using all the Belgravia products.  I plan to grow my hair really long now and feel a sense of achievement that this is possible. I wear wigs and hair pieces on occasions, but thanks to you guys I do it for fun and not out of necessity.
 
Often I see mainly black women with these contraptions on their heads which they wear with no idea of the consequences and damage they are doing until it’s too late.  You won’t miss it till it’s gone.
 
I know this sounds really corny but I am living proof that the treatment works.  Thank you so much! xx
